The McDonalds Monopoly Game Scam

[fmdog44]

HBO has a series about the McDonalds Monoply game they ran some years back. The bottom line is the million dollar winning game pieces were sold to friends by the game officials. Only part one has aired so far.

I heard the story a while back. Interesting. I want to see the series. Greed can make people do a lot of stupid stuff.
Sad when supposed smart people think they will not get caught.

I want to see the series.

In 2001, the FBI arrested co-conspirators in a decade-long fraud scheme involving the McDonald's Monopoly game. Now Fox will make it into a movie.
Fox won the bid on rights to the story, Ben Affleck is slated to direct with Matt Damon starring.

Many people who had two of the three pieces were advertising on Kijiji offering cash or to split the payout to someone who had the missing piece.

I remember when McDonalds first looked into their contest. People were complaining. It seems if you were an ordinary customer you could win a small fries. If you were the girlfriend of the manager , you got to win cash and cars. Of course McDonalds said their contests were supersized and fair.

You make it sound like McDonald's rigged the game, which is not the case. If you read the referenced article you will find the facts.
